Translate Within Ledger - Ledger and Timespan page

Although the Translation Within Ledger - Ledger and TimeSpan page is a different object than the Revaluation - Ledger and TimeSpan page, the fields are common to both pages.

Field or Control Description

From Ledger Group and Ledger

Specify the from ledger group and specific ledger in which you want to perform the Translate Within Ledger process. You must specify a translation ledger for this process. If you do not specify a ledger, the Translate Within Ledger process is run by the system against all the translation ledgers in the ledger group.

TimeSpan

General Ledger generates journal entries for which the amounts represent the period of time indicated by the TimeSpan for the step definition being processed. The TimeSpan typically used is BAL (balance sheet accounts). With this TimeSpan, the system totals the account balances in periods 0 through n for balance sheet accounts.

Rate Type

Enter the applicable rate type for the process.
